“…Presented data in Table (4) showed that, plants which cultivated in the clay soil and the old rice straw, 6 months treatments gave the highest values of plant diameter. Whereas, cultivated celery plants in new rice straw was obtained the lowest values of this parameter.…”

“…Data in Table (4) indicated that plant length was affected significantly by using different decomposition percentages of rice straw as a substrate. The greats values of plant length was obtained with clay soil treatment followed by old rice straw 6 months without any significant different between them.…”

“…Rice straw is a lingo-cellulosic material consisting predominantly of celluloses and hemi-celluloses (more than 60 percent) in addition to lignin's (15 to 20 percent), water-soluble substances (5 to 12 percent), mineral matter or ash and proteins which are usually present in very small amounts (2.2 to 3.0 percent), [4]. In addition, rice straw contain high nutrient value from (nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and potassium), which can use as a source for very high nutrient value as well as supplies organic matter for N fixation by heterotrophic N-fixing microorganisms, which could be absorbed by succeeding crop [5], [6].…”

This paper focused on evaluating the effect of using different decomposed percentages of rice straw as alternative substrate on growth, yield and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) of celery plants. The experimental layout was in the experimental farm of Central Laboratory for Agricultural Climate and the design was randomized complete block with three replications. Celery seedlings (cv. Green giant) were transplanted in 1 st of December, 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. Four ages (levels of decomposed) of rice straw were used (new rice straw, old rice straw 3 months, old rice straw 6 months and old rice straw 9 months) as a substrate in this investigation compared to clay soil. Results indicated that using the old rice straw, 6 months substrate recorded a moderate substrate temperature. Plant length, N, P, soluble sugar content and yield were not affected by cultivated celery plants in clay soil or old rice straw 6 months as substrate. whereas, plant diameter, chlorophyll reading, K and vitamin C content were affected negatively by using different percentages decomposed rice straw as alternative grown substrate. On the other hand, irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) enhanced by cultivated celery plants in clay soil and old rice straw 6 months substrate.

“…The same dam can also increase freshwater flows to promote rice farming in inland The Gambia during the prolonged dry season, thus serving multiple ecosystem benefits. From an energy perspective, different studies such as [58][59][60] have explored the potential of rice straw and rice husks as a potential feedstock for the production of biofuels to produce heat and electricity at household and micro-industry levels. This potential is minimally exploited in The Gambia despite its ability to transform the biofuels sector.…”

Ecosystem-Based Adaptation Practices as a Nature-Based Solution to Promote Water-Energy-Food Nexus Balance

et al. 2021

The objective of this study is to evaluate the contributions of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) practices to the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus balance, design practical pathways, and analyze barriers towards achievement of EbA-WEF balance. An area case study and descriptive methods were used to analyze data collected from 50 community forests (CFs) spread across three regions in The Gambia. Extensive information from relevant literature sources was also referred to in this study. Fourteen priority EbA practices were established and categorized into four major groups based on their application similarities. Among the anticipated ecosystem services were enhanced water resource conservation, food and feed production, enhanced energy supply, and improved community livelihoods to enhance their resilience. Pathways on how each practice under the broad category contributes to water, energy, and food were developed to demonstrate how they individually and collectively contribute towards the nexus balance. Key enablers identified included a conducive policy framework, institutional support, diverse incentives, information, knowledge, and technology transfer, and climate and non-climate barriers were cited as impediments. The paper concludes by outlining recommendations to overcome the established barriers.
